I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.

I, Kobe Bryant, have decided to skip college and take my talent to the NBA.

I knew that I was not going to be stopped.
So at the age of eighteen, this was my life.

Right?

So, you can't possibly become better than me because you're not spending the time on it that I do.

Even if you wanna spend the time on it, you can't because you have other things.

You have other responsibilities that are taking you away from it.

So, I already won.
